Abstract

Disclosed is a linear vibration motor, including an housing, a driving unit, a vibration unit, and an elastic component. The vibration unit includes a mass block having a through hole, and a permanent magnet and a pole core that are disposed in the through hole, the driving unit includes an iron core fixed on the housing and running through the through hole and a coil wound around the iron core, the pole core is disposed at one side of the permanent magnet close to the coil, the iron core includes an iron core body portion running through the through hole and two iron core abutting portions, the coil is wound around the iron core body portion, two different sides of the permanent magnet have different magnetic polarities, and after the coil is powered on, the two iron core abutting portions have opposite magnetic polarities.

Claims (12)

1. A linear vibration motor, comprising a housing having an accommodation space, a vibration unit accommodated in the accommodation space, an elastic member suspending the vibration unit in the accommodation space, and a driving unit driving the vibration unit to vibrate;

wherein the vibration unit comprises a mass block having a through hole, a permanent magnet mounted in the through hole, and a pole core fixed on the permanent magnet;

wherein the driving unit comprises an iron core fixedly mounted on the housing and running through the through hole, and a coil wound around the iron core; the pole core is disposed at one side of the permanent magnet close to the coil; the iron core comprises an iron core body portion running through the through hole and two iron core abutting portions extending away from an axis of the iron core body portion from two ends of the iron core body portion; the coil is wound around the iron core body portion, a magnetic polarity of one side of the permanent magnet close to the coil is opposite to a magnetic polarity of one side of the permanent magnet close to the mass block; and after the coil is electrified, the two iron core abutting portions have opposite magnetic polarities.

2. The linear vibration motor according to claim 1 , wherein the vibration unit further comprises a permanent magnet holder mounted in the through hole, the permanent magnet holder comprises a rectangular through hole located at the center of the permanent magnet holder and a mounting groove recessed in a direction away from an axis of the through hole from an inner wall of the through hole, and the permanent magnet is embedded in the mounting groove.

3. The linear vibration motor according to claim 2 , wherein four mounting grooves are provided, and the four mounting grooves are distributed in an array on four inner walls of the through hole respectively; four permanent magnets are disposed, and the four permanent magnets are spaced from each other and respectively embedded into the four mounting grooves.

4. The linear vibration motor according to claim 3 , wherein four pole cores are disposed, and the four pole cores are respectively disposed at one side of the four permanent magnets close to the coil.

5. The linear vibration motor according to claim 1 , wherein the iron core abutting portion comprises a main body portion connected to the iron core body portion and an extension portion extending in a direction away from a central direction of the main body portion from a side of the main body portion, and an orthographic projection of the extension portion on the permanent magnet at least partially falls on the permanent magnet.

6. The linear vibration motor according to claim 1 , wherein the linear vibration motor further comprises a baffle plate connected to the housing and used to fix the elastic component.

7. The linear vibration motor according to claim 6 , wherein the elastic component comprises a fixed portion fixedly connected to the mass block, a connecting portion fixedly connected to the baffle plate, and a deformation portion connecting the fixed portion and the connecting portion.

8. The linear vibration motor according to claim 7 , wherein the housing comprises a first housing having a side wall and a second housing covering the first housing; a groove accommodating the baffle plate is provided at the side wall of the first housing; the connecting portion of the elastic component is sandwiched between the baffle plate and a groove bottom of the groove; and four baffle plates are provided, correspondingly, four grooves are also provided, and the four baffle plates are distributed in an array on the grooves of the side wall respectively.

9. The linear vibration motor according to claim 1 , wherein the permanent magnet is a magnetic ring.

10. The linear vibration motor according to claim 1 , wherein the mass block is made of a non-magnetic conductive material.
